Three days have passed since the "heavenly change", but everyone under this starry sky is still immersed in the shock of that day, and the waves in their hearts cannot be calmed down for a long time.
After the incident, according to statistics, within the territory of the empire alone, more than 700,000 people died that day, more than one million people were disabled due to genetic collapse, and more people suffered minor or serious misfortunes. From loss of property, accidental loss of job opportunity, to car crash and broken bones, spaceship encounters star robbers, and star robbers also happen to have bad luck, and they almost died together in an accident...
Outside the empire, whether it was the Desolate Star Territory, the Star Alliance, or remote places that were not governed, bad luck and misfortune had happened, but it was not manifested in the form of genetic collapse like the new humans. No matter which side it is, it will belong to this world after all, and will naturally be bound by the falsified rules.
For a time, there were wailing sounds everywhere under the starry sky.
Everyone's attitude is even more complicated for the fact that they have single-handedly concocted all this, and what they have done has simply exceeded the limit of everyone's cognition, as if they were gods or demons. There is awe, there is resentment, and more of it is human beings' own curiosity and fear of all mysterious and unknown.
The current Yuanbuwei, there will never be anyone stupid enough to regard him as the original Wuheng. For some people, he is simply a devil in human skin, beyond stupidity, difficult to use The "mystery" explained by existing knowledge is the "root of all evil".
—The so-called certain people, of course, were the ones who suffered great misfortune in this shocking change, suffered severe genetic collapse, but found it difficult to accept the tragic reality.
For them, inaction is the executioner who has destroyed their entire life and all hope!
If there is still life essence, they may still be willing to swallow their anger, but it is not because they have already made it clear that they will no longer produce life essence, and let the genetically collapsed people live and die on their own, this group of people will go completely crazy.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
In a hospital ward on a certain asteroid, several figures were driven out of the ward in a state of embarrassment accompanied by hysterical roars and smashing sounds.
But the people passing by didn't show the slightest surprise, and didn't even cast a curious glance.
Because things like this are happening almost every moment now. Ever since so many patients with genetic collapse were sent in, this kind of excitement is simply not enough three times a day, so that other people have lost interest.
At most, someone glanced into the ward, and then pretended to shake his head: "Another crazy one."
Some people curled their lips in disapproval: "Everyone knows what's going on with them. Your Majesty is certainly a 'devil', but they are not good things. Look, the debts owed in the past must be paid back now."
While talking, the people in the ward were throwing wildly again and again, and finally the whole person couldn't help but fell to the ground, making a loud "bang".
He fell to the ground like a distressed tortoise that could only turn its shell over, but his legs couldn't exert any strength, so he could only struggle on the ground with difficulty, his clothes were messed up, his hair was loose, and these three days The dark circles under my eyes and the scruffy beard brought about by my own self-torture are simply embarrassing to the extreme.
During these three days, he was shocked, unbelieving, unwilling to accept, and finally had to face the reality.
He wept bitterly, he blamed everyone, and he cursed loudly the culprit who created all this!
Like a poisonous snake spitting out venom, all the vicious curses that can be described in human language are continuously sprayed out from his mouth, pointing to what he did not do.
"Shut up, you!"
Footsteps sounded suddenly, someone rushed into the ward, lifted his foot and kicked him backwards.
"What's wrong with His Majesty? The fault is that he is too merciful to give you a chance to scold him behind his back?"
The opponent kicked him hard on the chin with great force. The person on the ground raised his head with a cry of pain, a bloody tooth flew out of his mouth, and a familiar face was printed in his eyes narrowed due to pain. another stranger—
That was his neighbor since he was a child. He was born with a genetic breakdown and could not walk, but he was not abandoned by his parents. Instead, he went to school like everyone else. I don't know whether it was a lucky or unfortunate waste.
Therefore, this "heterogeneous" who is incompatible with other people has been secretly ridiculed, bullied and teased by their peers since childhood.
Now he still remembers that he and other friends deliberately snatched the other party's wheelchair and communication tools not far from the door, pushed the person to the ground, and watched this waste who had nowhere to call for help, crawling like a snake. The appearance of wriggling on the ground, crying and "crawling" all the way home.
——At that time, this person was really embarrassed and pitiful.
But now, things are turning. The waste that was ridiculed by others was completely healed with the help of life essence, and has a healthy body that is far better than many new humans. Unprecedented high spirits and self-confidence.
On the contrary, it was him who couldn't stand up for a while and became a complete waste. He could only let the other party bully him like this, but he had no power to fight back.
A burst of humiliation that couldn't be concealed suddenly emerged in my heart, and at the same time, it was mixed with anger that couldn't be concealed. Words full of resentment blurted out: "You came to see me too? Are you joking? If there is no life essence, you trash is also worthy of me? Show off your power in front of me?" Sour?, "That's right! The original liquid of life was sent out by Wu Heng. No wonder you treat him like a dog now. When the master is humiliated, he comes out and barks. Does your master know your loyalty?"
The man was still incapable and furious, but the young man who rushed in was not annoyed at all, instead he smiled: "If Your Majesty is willing? Yu? I don't know how many people are loyal to him. I really can't be ranked. I'm afraid some But people are stupid? They are not qualified to be His Majesty's lackeys."
Those words froze the faces of the people on the ground, and there was unconcealable resentment and jealousy in their eyes: "Open your mouth and keep your mouth shut Your Majesty, do you know how many people were killed by that demon in just a few days? Even if he remembers what happened back then, We? We have suffered enough, but he refuses to let it go. He clearly has the formula of life essence in his hand and refuses to take it out. Small punishments and big punishments are enough. Is such a narrow-minded person worthy of being an emperor? Wait a minute, how did he treat the previous emperor? Let’s treat him like this. We are all citizens of the empire who have the right to vote, so we will look good on him!”
This time, the other person just smiled lightly, as if laughing at him for being overwhelmed. The person walked around him on the ground and suddenly said:
"Guess, how will your family treat you afterwards? Will they be willing to take good care of you? Do you remember? How did you abandon your own child last year?"
The body of the person on the ground suddenly became stiff.
"Now you, or? You people, are actually suffering, scared, and desperate, right?" The man was merciless, and directly exposed his false appearance of being cruel and indifferent, "The misfortune imposed on others , will eventually bite back on yourself in another way. People, if you have never experienced the pain of others, you cannot understand each other. Now, you should be able to understand me at the beginning. Is there that abandoned child?"
During a moment of silence, the man laughed.
"What's wrong with His Majesty? He just helps us understand each other, so that you group of high-ranking, stupid, narrow-minded guys can finally think about the situation of patients with genetic collapse."
The man spoke eloquently, and then sighed wistfully: "It's really disappointing that you can't understand such painstaking efforts. Sure enough, the newly promulgated imperial law is correct. We should not force everyone to be equal, the new humans should be above the patients with genetic collapse—”
"Wait? Wait?! What did you say?"
"I mean, the empire has passed a new law. From then on, new humans are the first-class citizens of the empire. Patients with genetic collapse are divided into second-class or third-class according to the severity." The young man's voice was very relaxed , "—Isn't this exactly what you in the past were striving for?"
"???" The people on the ground were completely stunned, and he couldn't help but swear in his heart.
- Me? Fuck!
—In the past, they were the noble new human beings, but now they have become? Patients with genetic collapse? The two? Are reversed? Can this be the same
"I am a fool to share this good news with you. It seems that you are overjoyed. From now on, enjoy the life of a third-class citizen. It must be wonderful." After the young man finished speaking, he turned around. When you go out, don’t you forget to turn your head? He said, “By the way, I almost forgot to say that second-class?, third-class? citizens do not have the right to vote. Whether or not His Majesty will be emperor has nothing to do with you.”
He hummed a song and left?, leaving only another person who fell to the ground dejectedly, looking ashamed, like a bereaved dog.
—And this is just one of the countless microcosms that are happening in the empire's borders today.
Guys who have always been keen on playing with grade differentiation and discrimination finally succeeded in ushering in the grade differentiation and discrimination they dreamed of, but it is a pity that they became the lowest grade and were discriminated against that side.
Things are always so interesting? Meaning.
As for what they wanted to overthrow, the handover of the throne is being carried out at this time-the priceless treasure in the eyes of some people is nothing more than the dust on the lapel of his clothes. Not only is it worthless, but it is superfluous and annoying. Daren's greatest nemesis.
So, after completing the tampering with the rules of this world, I was going to throw out the hot potato if I didn't do it.
He picked and picked, and found a person who had been neglected for a long time. That was the second prince of the empire, a guy who was so mediocre that he almost had no sense of existence.
Didn't he rush to disclose the truth of this body's life experience, so that later generations would think that "good bamboo shoots from bad bamboos" would add glory to the old emperor's face, and then he directly threw the emperor's position to the be? The second prince who was pulled out was like throwing out a huge black pot.
In fact, this is indeed a huge black pot.
"The misfortune inflicted on others will one day be repaid twice in another way." Yuan Buwei smiled at the bewildered second prince, "And the position of the emperor of the empire has to bear the responsibility of the entire empire." Responsibility, any decision you make may lead to misfortune for tens of thousands of people, and the backlash in the future will be unprecedentedly terrifying. Maybe you just took office today, and you will be killed by the backlash tomorrow? Your Highness the Second Prince, you must keep this in mind."
The second prince trembled: "...!"
... dare he not keep it in his heart? Isn't his own father a living example? As early as the day of "heavenly change", he died of a genetic breakdown, and his body was completely cold.
He tried to rescue him: "Master Wu, Wuheng, I? think? you are doing very well. I? How can I compare? You? I? I have never been an emperor, and I have no experience..."
"Experience is something that takes time."
"Plop"! The second prince really knelt down.
He almost rushed forward to hug Yuan Buwei's thigh, and his voice was filled with tears: "I? My father is gone, my elder brother is gone, my third brother is gone, and the whole family is just me? This one I'm an only seedling, so you just let me go! I? I'm just a piece of trash who knows nothing... "
Wasn't it because everyone was shocked
I don't know if this second prince has talent, but it seems that he is by no means a worthless person.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and took a step back without being covered with tears and snot. At this moment, he sighed: "Your Highness the Second Prince, it is really difficult to support the entire empire. If you can convince others to follow the example of the Star Alliance Not too bad...”
The ruling structure of the Star Alliance is dominated by the parliament. From ordinary citizens to the core of the parliament, the number of people is progressive from large to small. Everyone has the opportunity to participate in the discussion of politics, but the weight of ordinary people is far lower than that of the most Members of the upper echelons. A member of parliament may be worth one vote? Countless ordinary people.
The second prince's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
It was not for leaving silently. As for how the second prince plans to persuade other people in the future, it's none of his business.
—In silence, the huge empire was reorganized. The empire, which was originally destined to be destroyed by the brutal destruction of the Zerg, has embarked on a brand new route.
It's not because these methods are like spring breeze turning into rain.
Just a few days later, an envoy from the Star Alliance came and expressed their willingness to submit to the empire and return to unity.
What the empire failed to accomplish in three hundred years of conquest, has now been accomplished without a single soldier. It was the performance of Yuan's inaction that day that frightened the entire Star Alliance.
The rules he made are not only effective in the Empire, but also in the Star Alliance. This kind of practice is beyond common sense and can set rules for the whole world. How dare the Star Alliance have any stupid way to resist
Unexpectedly, it's not because I didn't agree.
System 999 was a little curious, so he just smiled and said, "What's the point of unifying and merging? New human beings and natural humans, biotechnology, and bionic human mechanical systems make these two different countries move towards different directions." Wouldn't it be more interesting to move forward in the same direction and compete with each other?"
According to the original fate line, if there were no Zerg as external enemies, the human race would decay sooner or later, and one day there would be internal fighting. This is the inferiority of human beings.
[Makes sense? Oh.]System 999 nodded violently?, and suddenly said, [However, even if the Empire and the Star Alliance can maintain their progress and vitality through competition with each other, as time goes by, one day in the future, sooner or later, they will step into the footsteps of decay and backwardness. Bat?]
Yuan Buwei spread his hands: "Then it's none of my business."
"However," being reminded by the system 999, it was not because I was so stupid that I lost my "way of change", but because of the incarnation of the concept that Apollo once mentioned to pass the end of the road, it is necessary to continue Spreading the concept of his own way, and now he seems to be able to plan for a rainy day, he had a flash of inspiration, "It might as well do a small experiment."
Not long after, Wu Hai, who had established himself in the new empire, met Yuan Buwei who specially summoned him here.
The young man stands on the spaceship that is about to take off, with the endless starry sky behind him. His deep eyes are far away and calm, and the stars and the sea are surrounded by them.
"I'm leaving." Yuan Buwei smiled at him, "Would you like to become our Daoist and spread our Tao and principles under this starry sky?"
——When the old era decays, the past order collapses and decays, everyone's destiny is solidified, and there are no more possibilities, someone will stand up and inject more variables and vitality into the world.
Many years later, Wu Hai, who took in "White Dawn" and formed "Eye of the Starry Sky" and turned from bright to dark, recalled that scene at the beginning, and still couldn't help showing a sincere smile.
And that was the last side of that person in his memory.
—The eyes of the gods stare at the starry sky, everything will eventually pass away, only Tao and truth will last forever.
The author has something to say:
Regarding the grading of the empire, genetic collapse itself is based on probability, and now only people who suffer from bad luck will happen, and the premise of bad luck is that they have caused misfortune to others, so don’t worry that there will be people born with genetic collapse in the future. inferior. In other words, it was because of serious bad things that they were so unlucky.
